This study sought to find out if there is a correlation between the wellbeing and work performance of Christian managers and support from their families. Based on Don Browning’s revised correlation approach to practical theology, the study employed a mixed methods research design (quantitative and qualitative). This study involved an empirical study with thirty-two (32) Christian managers in Ohangwena Region, Namibia. The participants in the empirical study either completed a questionnaire or participated in an interview. Additionally, six biblical leaders and other key scriptures were selected to draw theological principles related to Christian managers’ wellbeing and work performance in relation to family support. The results revealed that Christian managers’ experiences at work, at home and at church affect their physical, emotional, psychological, social and spiritual wellbeing; wellbeing affects the work performance of Christian managers, family support plays a significant role in the wellbeing and work performance of Christian managers; most Christian managers do receive support from their families, but families can do much more; Christian managers have a role to play in gaining support from their families; the church has a part to play in enhancing family support to address the wellbeing needs and work performance of Christian managers. Based on the findings, the study culminated in the designing of a model to enhance the wellbeing and work performance of Christian managers, which can be used by Christian managers, Christian managers’ families and Christian practitioners such as pastors and counsellors. Osmer’s four tasks of practical theology were found to be especially useful for pastoral intervention.
